Tracks



01. American Dreams

Screams fill the air
Cannot bare this suffering
Won't accept what you can bring
It means nothing to me
With open arms everything to gain
Hateful glares my gifted pain
Utter bliss handed to you
You aint shit and you know its true

Walk the ground without a care
Digging deeper as i stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lies inside

I get drunk i get high
Blue collar worker till i die
Your money will not buy
The perseverance in my eye
Nailed to the ground to stay alive
Grasp my struggle to survive
Hand that feeds following you
You aint shit and you know its true

Walk the world without a care
Digging deeper as i stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lives inside

One day you will see your life is worth nothing
By then youll realize its too late
And one day youll find me i will be something
By then youll realize its too late

Walk the world without a care
Digging deeper as i stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lives inside
(repeat)

02. The Ultimate Sacrifice

Dare to believe the lives of your friends were deceived
The lives of your friends cant be saved
All of you people enslaved
It feels like im being pulled under
Im falling down descent of man
Give your last farewell
Edging closer and closer to death lets embrace this hell

Stand tall and fight until the sun begins to rise (begins to rise)
Give all your lives for the ultimate sacrifice (sacrifice)

Do what your told your lives already been sold
You make some money someday
Dragging your body away
Im already pulled under
Im falling down descent of man
Give your last farewell
Edging closer and closer to death lets embrace this hell

Stand tall and fight until the sun begins to rise (begins to rise)
Give all your lives for the ultimate sacrifice (sacrifice)

Stand tall and fight until the sun begins to rise (begins to rise)
Give all your lives for the ultimate sacrifice (sacrifice)
The ultimate sacrifice

03. The Strong Prevail

Fight for what you want
Fight for what you dont
Fight for the right to speak
And make decisions on your own
Fight for your flag
The right to raise it high
Fight to be what you wanna be
Till the day that you die

To the brittle and frail
In this world only the strong prevail
You chose heads instead you got tails
As long as you fight youll never fail
Only the strong prevail

Let the criticism roll down your back
Let the dirty looks and evil words
Fuel your will to crack
Army of one you ready to roll
They can take your body and your heart
But theyll never take your soul

To the brittle and frail
In this world only the strong prevail
You chose heads instead you got tails
As long as you fight youll never fail
Only the strong prevail

A dept to pay
And inconceivable useless fuck
And I dont know what could end this stroke of luck
Emptiness takes over me and endless conspiracy
And I wont know the truth behind this fallacy

To the brittle and frail
In this world only the strong prevail
You chose heads instead you got tails
As long as you fight youll never fail
Only the strong prevail

04. Black Rivers Flow

Stay the course for a mass destruction
The innocence begins to fade
An uproar of wealthy poison
Insurance to be paid
In a fail proof act of grievance
Bait the weak with solemn lies
Full steam ahead to prison
Sentenced till the afterlife

Darkened sky with the truth below
Shadows multiply and black rivers flow
Surging down into everything we know
The emptiness of an open sea
Turned black inside failed misery
Fuel the hate of the black rivers flow

Set sail for oblivion
Mapped out by our ignorant hand
Put the blame on another dominion
The only choice we had
The shattered coast begins to blacken
Along with hope of recovery
Abandon ship that we call this planet
And plead for our sanity

Darkened sky with the truth below
Shadows multiply and black rivers flow
Surging down into everything we know
The emptiness of an open sea
Turned black inside failed misery
Fuel the hate of the black rivers flow

Tear them down one by one
Compensate obliterate
For what theyve done
As black waves drift across the sun
Drown them all make the call
We cannot wait we will not wait
Let them fall
Drift down until their broken bodies become blackened salt

Darkened sky with the truth below
Shadows multiply and black rivers flow
Surging down into everything we know
The emptiness of an open sea
Turned black inside failed misery
Fuel the hate of the black rivers flow

05. Casting Forward

Take it all away from me
Stack the hatred carefully
Questioning the time you spent
Burning traces of whats left
Moving to that final step
We all will meet our maker

Casting forward regretfully
Shed my doubt and set me free

Retribution for the unaffected mind
Revocation is all i want to find
Memories will live once more
What lies beyond that lucid door
Evidence worth dying for
You gotta bury all that anger

Casting forward regretfully
Shed my doubt and set me free
Casting forward regretfully
Shed my doubt and set me free

Blinded by broken hopes and dreams
Consciousness is never what it seems
Reunite with tragedy
Condemn the doubt forever free
Talking all the life from me
Its time to meet my maker

Casting forward regretfully
Shed my doubt and set me free
Casting forward regretfully
Shed my doubt and set me free

Casting forward regretfully
Shed my doubt and set me free
Yeah im casting forward regretfully
Shed my doubt and set me free

06. Light A City (Up In Smoke)

Shed the fields of destiny
Awaken from the haze
Regrow this land of poverty
As quickly as today
A simple flick the fire burns
Everything will thrive
Winding down the more we earn
This dream it will survive

Fire it up take it slow
Soon enough the truth will show

Light a city up in smoke
Burning without agony
The answer to a buried land
Rooted as the enemy
(repeat)

Arrest the weak withhold the earth
Imprisonment for all
Those who seek the natural worth
Rise before you fall
Forget the greed forgive the lies
Ashes of the old
A tattered nation rectified
With every gram thats sold
Fire it up take it slow
Soon enough the truth will show


Light a city up in smoke
Burning without agony
The answer to a buried land
Rooted as the enemy
(repeat)

Light a city up in smoke
Burning without agony
The answer to a buried land
Rooted as the enemy
(repeat)

07. Through Your Eyes

I can feel it building up deep down inside
No i wont let it fall apart no it cant fall apart
No i will not hide
I can feel the hatred in my veins
Pumping harder than it has before
Encountering evil succumbing to vengeance
As it pushes you to the floor

I can see through your eyes
Youre so evil you make the devil cry
And all the live that you compromise
Looking through the devils eyes

All my life ive been searching around
For the end of the rope that i never found
You and i and i know that i never gave
Half of what was needed to forever save
Now i lay face down in shit
Always the first to be the one to quit

I can see through your eyes
Youre so evil you make the devil cry
And all the live that you compromise
Looking through the devils eyes

I can see through your eyes
Youre so evil you make the devil cry
And all the live that you compromise
Looking through the devils eyes

I can see (and i can see )
Through your eyes (right through your eyes)
Youre so evil

09. Eternal Vengeance

Staring at these walls, confined for all my life...
Wondering if I'll ever again see the sunlight.
All my suffering, no one will understand.
Alone, I sit, no one to call or take my dead end.
'Round and 'round I wander, this enduring consequence...
Surrounded in my tomb by signs that don't make sense.
So I lie... WAITING FOR THE DAY THAT I DIE!

Drive a nail, in my coffin!
These runes no longer exist!
A thousand nights, with endless torture,
clenched within my fist!
Liberation!
A perfect sentence comes to mind!
Preparation!
No soul to spare, they all must die.

You took away my life, stripped all the pride that I had.
This action's not in vain, as I seek eternal vengeance!
You took away my life, stripped all the pride that I had.
This action's not in vain, as I seek eternal vengeance!

Outside the walls, I detected a means for my escape!
No better build, I've rejected! Applaud in your destined place!
I make a stand, take what I can, their lives are meaningless to me!

Assured suicide, I will not hide!
My place will end their last crusade!

You took away my life, stripped all the pride that I had.
This action's not in vain, as I seek eternal vengeance!
You took away my life, stripped all the pride that I had.
This action's not in vain, as I seek eternal vengeance!

Stare into my eyes and witness my misery!
A man possessed with eternal vengeance,
A burning fire,
You left inside of me!

You took away my life, stripped all the pride that I had.
This action's not in vain, as I seek eternal vengeance!
You took away my life, stripped all the pride that I had.
This action's not in vain, as I seek eternal vengeance!
